The Traveling Delica Volume #4.

I am sending off a New fresh from the dealer Named "K"
"K" has been opened up and had the factory oils cleaned off.
WeaponShield applied to pivot and a new Lynch Clip and screws installed


Requirements to be a Host.....

50 State and APO/FPO only for now
Sorry Canada....

Current PAID Membership with at least 10 positive feedbacks...
Or long time member who is short of the "10" but still paid.
I will make the call if you are a go or not.


Send me a PM of you wanting to be a host along with your shipping address.

You agree to be responsible of "K" while in your care for any loss or damage
including the Lynch Long clip.

You agree to send "K" to the next host in a USPS Small flat rate box insured.

Make post and give a report post pics..

Use "K"in a normal EDC task..
Dont abuse "K" or force patina.

To quote MMAR
""Here is what I propose:
**I ship "K" . They put it to use, carry it, use it, strop it, love it, etc.
**They document their EDC use by taking pics and documenting the journey by posting the adventures right here in this here thread.
**After a week or two of use, they send the Delica (at their own expense) to another Spyderco forumite and "wash, rinse, and repeat."
**This cycle continues as long as there is someone next in line who wants to continue the journey.
**After a few months of it traveling the country and MAYBE the world the knife will then be returned home to me, safe, sound, and fulfilled of all its hopes, dreams, and journeys.""


And now..
Here is the new kid

All boxed up and ready to hit the road

I’m looking forward to this!

I’m not prepared to host K atm, but I’ve changed states since hosting Cam and would love to jump in at some point.

Thanks for doing this uxo2 uxo2 !
 
dang would have loved to participate as a host but i don't meet the "feedback" requirements
 
Looks like this is going to be the shortest
Trip ever taken by a Delica with only two host.
 
So got around to using K for some chores. Had an Amazon box that needed some attention. I was surprised how comfortable the handle was compared to what I usually use which is a shaman or a pm2. I must have hit a staple or something because I noticed a little roll in the edge after processing cardboard. However after about 5 mins on my work sharp field sharpener K is back to hair popping sharpness again. I was very surprised how easy k390 was to touch up. It didn’t really need it after the cardboard which was easily 50 feet of cuts but the roll annoyed me. The lynch clip was also very comfortable for extended use. I am very much enjoying the delica and haven’t carried one in probably a decade.

If this continues, would gladly sign up.
I have Seki models but none are Delicas, and most are a bit off the wall, the P4 is the closest to that shape I have used.
 
I've been curious to try K390 but don't have any feedback on bladeforums since I've only sold knives on ebay

Received "K" today thank you uxo2 uxo2 ! First class custom foam built especially for small flat rate box. Traveling in style!

I've purchased a number of Delica Exclusives that I've gifted to my Wife, Daughter, And DIL. Never carried one myself so I'm looking forward to using K for the next week or so. Recovering from lumbar spinal fusion surgery (May 26th) so I'm not close to full strength. The next month I need to walk 1/4-1/2 mile 3 times a day , So Ks lightweight will be a bonus. The home care physician therapist has asked a couple times why I keep putting a knife in my pocket before walking. 😎

I ordered a DeWalt tool set for the motorhome that showed up around the same time today. Packaged nicely by Amazon in double walled cardboard. K easily dissected the top of the box with little effort. Cleaned the blade and added a coat of EDCI.

Looking forward to K390 in this format! Hopefully I'll be able to use the knife in numerous ways without my wife asking why I'm cutting material in my condition. 🤕IMG_20230620_125647_(2600_x_1463_pixel).jpgIMG_20230620_125706_(2600_x_1463_pixel).jpgIMG_20230620_125739_(2600_x_1463_pixel).jpgIMG_20230620_125759_(2600_x_1463_pixel).jpgIMG_20230620_125816_(2600_x_1463_pixel).jpg
